3 Strategies to ensure Premiums are affordable now and in the future
Claims history has proven to us that when you most need insurance cover (ages 40 to 55) the cost of insurance can sometimes be too expensive to keep.At tribelife we use 3 strategies to ensure premiums are affordable now and into the future when you need the insurance cover the most.
1. Lock in Premiums – Typically insurance premiums rates increase annually with age. But what if you could control the cost of insurance. By taking a Level premium policy the premiums do not change for the entire duration of the policy. Level premium cover provides a greater long term saving and in many cases you can save you up to 50% of the total amount of insurance cover paid over your life time.
2. Pay Insurance Premiums through super – Here’s an idea to reduce out of pocket expenses to get and keep your insurance cover in place. When times are tough, most people look closely at their budgets. To help ease the burden of the cost of insurance you can pay the premiums through your superannuation fund.
3. Get the Government to pay your premiums – By utilizing the government co-contribution scheme, you could be entitled to a government co-contribution which can essentially pay your insurance premium through your superannuation fund.
2. Business Insurance Advice
Helping small to medium size businesses with succession planning in respect to the protection of key directors / employees (Keyman Insurance) and also providing a cost effective funding solution in the event of the unexpected death or disablement of one of the key directors (Buy / Sell Insurance).Business Insurance Advice
The Problem:Without a business succession plan, your family and your business associates could be exposed to unnecessary financial risk.
If the unthinkable did happen ask yourself these 5 questions:
1. Would any ownership succession be orderly, equitable and be funded quickly.
2. Would you or your family receive adequate payment for the transfer of your interest in the business.
3. Would the valuation of your business be maintained.
4. Would you have sufficient financial resources to protect your income and family lifestyle.
5. Would you have to use personal assets, such as your home to provide security to borrow money to fund an exiting business partner.
The Solution:
Business Insurance can provide the business owners with enough cash so they can:
- Fund a Buy / Sell agreement documenting an agreed price.
- Ensure the exiting owner and or family receive fair value for their interest.
- Guarantee the orderly, equitable and certain transfer of ownership.
- Maintain control of the business.
The Alternative:
Borrow the cash – Borrowing the cash to fund the purchase price is an option many businesses could consider, but lenders may not be prepared to extend credit and you may not want to or be able to provide the security for additional lending.
